A control system for a machine having a brake is disclosed. The control system may include an operator interface configured to receive inputs from an operator of the machine, and output data to the operator of the machine, and a controller in communication with the operator interface. The controller may be configured to monitor operator inputs received by the operator interface, monitor a speed of the machine, and send a signal to the operator interface to notify the operator to apply the brake based at least in part on the operator inputs and the speed of the machine.

Machine activity monitor with speed based conditional

A power management system having automatic calibration is disclosed. The power management system may have an alternator and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit may be configured to determine a reference voltage based on at least one measured operating condition of the alternator. The reference voltage may correspond to an overloading threshold of the alternator. The electronic control unit may be further configured to monitor a voltage of the alternator and, when the monitored voltage is less than the reference voltage, perform a corrective action to increase a power output of the alternator.
